How big does your tank for two red cichlids have to be?
Red cichlids I am assuming as red devil cichlids and in which case at least a 75 gallon as they get upwards of 13 inches. Also, additional fish in the tank would diminish any aggressive behavior so they would not be focused on one another.
Can i put parrot fish and African cichlids in a 55 gallon tank?
It's generally not advisable to keep parrot fish and African cichlids together in a 55-gallon tank due to their differing temperaments and environmental needs. African cichlids are typically more aggressive and territorial, which can stress the more peaceful parrot fish. Additionally, their water parameters may vary, as African cichlids prefer harder, alkaline water while parrot fish thrive in softer conditions. It's best to choose species that are more compatible in terms of temperament and water requirements.

What is the rule of thumb for stocking freshwater fish tanks?
The rule of thumb for stocking levels in a freshwater aquarium is 1 inch of fish per gallon of aquarium. For instance, five 1" guppies in a 5 gallon tank, or ten 3 inch cichlids in a 30 gallon aquarium.
Is twenty-one fish in a seventy-four gallon tank to much fish?
That all depends on how big the fish are. The rule is "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". The tank could easilly be overcrowded if it is stocked with large cichlids and understocked (if there is such a thing) if the fish are Neon Tetras.
What are 3 freshwatwer fish kept in an aquarium?

Can you keep a Pacu in a 20 gallon aquarium with African Cichlids?
No way. Pacus come from the Amazon and their required water parameters (soft and acid) are as different from those required by African Cichlids (hard and alkaline) as could possibly be imagined. Pacus are not really suited to aquarium life anyway because they grow to well over 60 lbs in weight and are much too large for a tiny 20 gallon tank.
Can a small rainbow shark go in an 80 gallon tank with African cichlids?
I think that would probably be fine. Although africans are quite aggressive, they tend to ignore bottom dwelling fish like rainbow sharks. I've seen it done before. If you are looking for a bottom feeder for an African tank that is guaranteed to work, get yourself a synodontis catfish. They are from the same lakes, get along with cichlids, and can be stunningly beautiful.
How many African cichlid can you put in a 10 gal tank?
None, you need at least 55 gallonsANS2:A 55-gallon tank would be nice but, you can keep cichlids in a small bowl. The rule of thumb is to not put any more fish in the tank than 1 inch of fish per gallon. Since cichlids like warm water, and since warm water does not hold oxygen as well as cooler water, you will want to reduce the number of fish that you put into a tall tank since there will be less surface area for the water to breathe. Also, you will have better results if your tank has good aeration. When you change water in the tank, avoid changing out more than 10% at a time because the growth of the fish will remain stunted by the buildup of hormones that they secrete into the water. If you change too frequently, the fish will outgrow the tank.
Can you grow an Oscar with a huge goldfish with a blood parrot fish and 3 checkered cichlids in a 24 inch by 12 inch tank?
Sadly, no. Oscars need at least 55 gallons, but some say that an oscar needs a 75 gallon minimum. Oscars grow up to 12 inches in length, so you can understand how the measurements of your tank would be too small. Also, a goldfish needs a 55 gallon minimum. The cichlids will be aggressive, and unless your fish are about the same size as your oscar, you are going to be having a lot of fights. Also, the oscars and gold fish produce tons of waste and may kill the other fish with the extra ammonia in the water.
Can you keep just male cichlids in an aquarium?
Yes provided they are all of similar sizes and all require the same or very similar water parameters ie Africans with other Africans or Amazonians with Amazonians. Just remember the rule "1 inch of fish requires at least 1 gallon of water".
